For every battle sometimes even the strongest warriors have a breaking point

Other than Amira, everyone who had accompanied you to Saddle Arabia couldn’t believe what you just said.

“Nero?!” Twilight asked with a combination of anger, fear, and confusion.

Shoving your way past Aragon and Amira’s parents, you looked out the window to see that your strange eyesight hadn’t been fooling you. Explosions and screams could be heard from down below. Even with how powerful the barrier is, it could only last for so long. You can see several more explosions against the shield as the barrier tried to stay strong against each blast the attackers were throwing.

Fakhar roughly grabbed your shoulder, forcing you to look at him again. “YOU... YOU BROUGHT WAR TO OUR PEACEFUL CITY!” he raises an arm out and swings at you. However, you were not in the mood for him.

You managed to stop his arm connecting with your face and swing your other arm at his face knocking him off his feet.“Fakhar, save your breath. We have much bigger problems out there!”

“H-How dare you... HOW DARE YOU! GUARDS, ARREST HIM!” he demanded, but they did no such thing.

“Your highness, what are your orders?!” the left guard asks wondering what is their next move.

You... were shocked as if you remember correctly, there was a total of 1800 powerful soldiers in the kingdom of sand, and they were all here for you. ‘Oh wow, even I’m surprised at this sudden change of heart.’ You cleared your throat and turned towards your new subordinates.

“I want all the guards in the city to assemble outside the city. As soon as our forces are ready, we will teleport to engage the enemy in the desert. Not one of these invaders is to break past the barrier and into the city before the evacuation is complete. Dozens of lives will be jeopardized with just one intruder!”

The guards who surround the palace were amazed at how well organized and strong spirited this human was compared to their rulers. Since they have been working here and over time, the family that has been ruling this palace and its inhabitants didn’t show such concern for the well-being of the civilians.

“Bah! Are you insane, child?!” Amira’s mother, Jashe protested. “Our castle will be completely unprotected if all the guards are out there fighting. We have priceless jewelry and treasures that need protecting.”

“Who cares? I told you before, a kingdom is its subjects! Gold, trinkets, this palace... Is that you care about? Well then let me educate you on what a king is supposed to do for his kingdom and his and her subjects.” You walked around and spread your arms. “When a palace falls these walls can be rebuilt, when gold and jewels are lost we can find more when priceless artifacts go missing we can rebuild history back from the ground up.” You stood your ground and walked towards the greedy family.

“These things can be rebuilt and replaced, but as a king, a throne is nothing but a seat without the people he and or she is sworn to protect and prosper with. If we are only for the items we have instead of the people we trust we are not meant for the crown we were given from the people themselves to let us rule over!”

Unknown to any of you, the axe next to the throne was starting to shake because of your strong emotions.

“I may not know how you use to rule or what your so-called duties of how you rule this city but now I fully understand why Amira despises you so much.” You turn to both Fakhar and Aragon. “You both are materialistic. You are so scared of losing your riches that you rather let a city and its civilians suffer to gain what you desire. Amira, you only see her as a money mule and when she found someone who she actually fell in love with, you preferred to destroy her happiness for a lousy piece of gold.”

You reach into your pocket which in surprising you actually had a bit that you must have had a bit of change in your pocket. You presented the small coin to both royals before you begin to crush the coin into a piece of bent coin metal before tossing it to the side. “If you love your money so much, run like the cowards you are. I’m staying and protecting these ponies with or without your help.”

By now, Fakhar looked like his mane would burst into flames as Celestia’s had, but he was once again silenced.

“There’s not much you can do, father,” Amira mocked, placing a hand on your shoulder. “I’ll never get tired of reminding you that you no longer have any place on the throne since I’ve moved on from that filthy excuse of a husband.”

“I couldn’t agree more,” a voice sounded, followed by a pair of metal shoes against the marble tile echoed.

Turning around you saw yet another unfamiliar stallion entering the throne room. accompanied by some guards he must be Asim brother as he had quite an impressive degree of muscle and was smartly dressed in iron armor. While his colors were different and his helmet had a unique eagle mantle on the top but had a hole in the center for his horn.

You never met this stallion before but you figure he must be Bariq as he bears some resemblance of both Amira and Asim.

Amira smiles “It’s been a while, brother.” That was all you needed to hear to know this stallion was one of the commanders of the Saddle Arabian army, as well as the younger of Amira’s two brothers, Bariq.

‘That’s Bariq? Wow, I tho- No, stay on point! There are far bigger matters to worry about!’ you pushed any and all bad thoughts of what you learned about Bariq the other day away and had to focus more on what’s happening right now.

You watched the second brother walked forward as Aragon walks up towards his former brother-in-law.

“BARIQ MY BROTHER, HO-” He was immediately cut off immediately winds up a heavy punch and delivers it right at Aragon’s exposed stomach. Despite having abs under that fine-lined fabric it couldn’t cushion the blow from all that pent up anger bariq had it in for him.

Aragon gasped as that punched knocked the wind out of his lungs, as well as some of his breakfast. Once he was done puking on the marble floor, he gasped to try and regain his bearings. “You... You b-... I sh-”

“Save your tongue whelp. You are not holding my leash anymore now that you’ve been stripped off the crown.” Bariq reaches down and grabs Aragon by the neck. The former king gasped again as Bariq is three times stronger than him despite being a unicorn.

“I’ve been waiting for this since I caught you hitting my sister, you disgusting cockroach...” he pulls his fist back and without warning connects his second punch right at Aragon’s face. Sending him flying several feet away bariq takes a few deep breaths as he needed to get that out of his system first before meeting with you.

“It’s a shame we couldn’t meet each other at a more pleasant time,” he sighed before bowing to you. You were a little surprised just how serious he was taking his job, as earlier, Amira described him as a pervert who enjoys messing around with the castle maids. Though sometimes even some ponies need to have a bit of fun right.

“I’ve been waiting for somepony to stand up to Aragon and I couldn’t help but let out some steam. There’s a lot we should discuss, but we have a situation right now,” Bariq said. “As we speak, the castle army is rounding up outside preparing to engage the enemies before they can break through our barriers. Just say the word and we’re ready to go.”

“Don’t forget love. You are the king of saddle Arabia now. You command its ponies and the royal guards.” Celestia smiles confidently. “Do not worry about me and the others. We will protect the citizens and help them escape to a safer location.”

Looking down at Celestia’s stomach she rubs it and gives you a confident smile. “We will all be fine.” She motions you to take a step forward as several more guards walked into the throne room all geared up and ready for a battle.

You were amazed as the guards were ready for your orders but sadly though some weren’t happy about your ruling. Fakhar who still wouldn’t accept your position takes a step forward towards his supposed guards.

“ENOUGH DON’T YOU DARE TAKE ANOTHER STEP YOU INCOMPETENT DOLTS! I AM YOUR KING! YOU FOLLOW MY ORDERS! DON’T YOU DARE DISOBEY ME!” It was embarrassing, as they just walked around him.

Both you and Bariq chuckled, as even the guards know the value of what a king must do for its citizens, and they understood that you were aiming to show what you mean. You first demand that an immediate evacuation to take place so the citizens would retreat to the safest secure area of the kingdom. You also command them to gather several resources and have the citizens carry some, but only if they can keep up. You would not only be fighting as hard as you could out there, but you would also be buying time to empty the city. Your enemies out there were psychopaths who wouldn’t hesitate to kill a stallion, mare, not even a foal or an elder. If just one of them slipped past the weakening barrier before the evacuation was finished, a good number of innocent lives would be lost.

You announced that as soon as everyone understood their instructions, you would all teleport out to the desert in order to confront Nero’s forces before the barrier finally shattered. This battle wouldn’t end without cost since the leader was one of Grogar’s strongest underlings, but every soldier before you is willing to risk their lives to protect their kingdom. Though, not all of them would be out there in the desert, as you needed the guards who were currently operating the barrier to maintain their positions.

All the guards salute and slammed their weapons, as they hurried to complete their instructed. The captain’s race forwards as they command the guards to help protect their beloved city. Watching all the guards race out to their positions you felt something unique deep inside. Like a fire burning inside as that feeling of being in commanded felt... Amazing. Now you understand how shining armor or even Jade Star feel when they command an army for the Equestrian army.

While the guards are all racing through the clock bariq walks over towards you and claps his hands.“impressive. I knew you had the heart of a true fighter burning in you. I also was in the hall and just happened to overhear that speech you told father here about valuing the lives of your subjects.” He offered you his sword. “As a king, it’s befitting to have a sword that shows your loyalty to your subjects.”

You smile and shake your head. “No, you need that sword. I may be a ruler but these ponies need a leader who knows how to lead. You have been leading them way before I took the crown so you should lead them to victory.” you push the sword away which causes bariq to be even more astounded that you refused the ruler sword. A sword that only generals and kings wield you yet refused to take someone who rightfully wields the weapon they were given.

Amira was smiling and was almost to the point of tears. “Such a strong spirit...”

Bariq agreed, having heard his little sister despite her whispering. “A strong and wise one. I’ll send reinforcements to secure your lovers to a safer area.” He commands the guards to get ready as they set to teleport to the desert once everything was ready.

The soldiers bowed and raced to their positions. As they leave, Aragon and Fakhar were far still haven’t accepted defeat, and they stared in growing rage that their own guard those who were sworn to protect them had not only ignored their orders but acted like they were invisible. Like dust in the wind, their voices only echoed the palace as the guards only focused on the monkey that ‘desecrated’ their own palace.

“YOU IMBECILES! WE NEED TO ESCAPE THE CITY! HAVE THE CHARIOTS-” Aragon is silenced when you punched him in his stomach, marking his third time getting hit there.

“I don’t want to hear another word out of you. Just lie there and let the grown-ups do their jobs,” you snarled. Now that the conceited stallion had finally shut his trap, you could focus on the war. Aquastria had suffered before from this monster, again from his return... Nero is not going to slaughter anymore. You weren’t sure exactly how he was revived, but this time you were going to make sure his body would never be seen again.

Bariq helps you to where the armory is stationed. You knew this battle is going to be a fierce one after all, Nero’s soldiers had somehow gotten their filthy hands on firearms. Jade Star decided to accompany you to the armory, preferring to join the fight instead of evacuating with the rest of your lovers.

She already plans ahead. Several bat ponies who were standing on ceiling descend all dressed in robes and ready to kill. Assassin bats can blend in shadows and can teleport from different shadows and you hoped you’d be able to put that to good use in the upcoming war.

Seeing how Jade came already prepared for war you wonder if this mare already knew a war was going to surface. Jade does admit she knew war can happen anywhere but the guards she brought were for when Amira’s family when they decide to hold you and your family against your will. Given how the family has been since yesterday you should give your captain some praise as she wasn’t wrong about that.

You ordered Jade to have her guards circle around and disarm their cannon’s and any other enemy guards that were left behind. With a salute, the guards disappeared leaving you, jade and Bariq alone to gear up in the armory. As you left to change into some protective armor the axe still embedded in the tree begins to glow like a light hum echoes from it.

You made sure to get changed into your new set of armor quickly. Even as you speak, the guards responsible for operating the barrier were working as hard as they could to keep it from breaking. Though despite the heavy blasts something wasn’t right. The blasts didn’t look like they were heavy. You’ve seen Nero’s last attack and they did a number on his last invasion. This seemed... Like he was hardly trying.

You knew better than anyone who would be fighting that Nero wasn’t one to be merciful, and yet his blasts were barely harming the shield. Even so, those barbarians still needed to be put down. Your armor which was a unique blend of metal and leather and clay (an odd but ingenious way of armor) you made sure each piece wasn’t tight enough to cause friction and restrict movement.

Jade and bariq who adored the same armor you were wearing both were saluted by several guards who returned back to their positions. They walked over as you watched more cannon fire hits the barrier.

“If you’re done admiring yourself, there are soldiers out there ready to fight,” Jade reminded.

You sighed. “I want to end this before this city falls.” You turned to Bariq. “Status?”

Bariq salutes. “Civilians have been evacuated to the safety of the Angel Oasis and most of our blind spots have been barricaded and or been demolished to prevent any sneak attacks.”

You nod as you were glad that been taken care of first. “Enemies number and weaponry?” you commanded as Bariq nods again.

“We have 5 airships loaded with heavy-duty cannons and about 100 regular soldiers. Possibly mercenaries,” he replied. Just in time one of the Arabian soldiers walks up carrying what you have dreaded in one of his hands. Holding it out bariq examines it as this piece of weaponry is far from what he’s seen in his lifetime of training in the army. “Each guard is carrying something like this. Strange device do you think?” he asked holding it out for you to see.

You took a deep breath as you know what it was.

An assault rifle and from how many games and movies you played and watch it’s a common one back home. An AK-47. A terrorist’s most common weapon.

You don’t know much about firearms, only that they are meant to kill. For this weapon it’s a classic for terrorists and that it was made in Russia. Other then that is all you know about it. Although despite knowing about weapons something was off about the gun.

You asked to look at it as bariq hands you the weapon. Feeling it was indeed heavy and must be hard to hold this weapon once it goes off. But from looking at it something catches your eye. The parts seemed poorly made. Looking at the slider you believe to be where the pin must be or not and reached it. Pulling it felt like the slider was glued on. You struggle on the slider for a few seconds as it didn’t budge at all. You kept at it before you finally broke the slider….. Literally. Your strength literally ripped the slider off the gun.

You examine the weapon and the slider as you held both pieces in your arm both Jade and Bariq stared at you in confusion.

“Um... is that suppose to happen?” Jade asked wondering what the weapon it was and if that was supposed to come off.

You shake your head. “Uh no... More importantly, how did you acquire this weapon?” you asked the guard who brought it in.

The guard explained a few of the enemies were making it through one of the caves of the city before they managed to stop them from entering any further. They used those weapons and hit a few of the guards but they already denoted the support beams holding the structure. One of the mercenaries who had the weapon was doing the same thing you were doing before the cave-in killed him. the weapon slides towards him as the cave fully collapsed.

Looking at the gun and back to the guard who brought it to you and bariq it was clearly obvious on what happened. The gun is poorly made. Manufactured or the parts aren’t right or whatever this weapon was more junk then from the real thing. Still though if it was able to fire a few shots and hit several guards it was still a dangerous weapon. Something this world should not be wielding. You’ve seen the damage one bullet can do back home and what other firearms can do to the human body.

This world would go up in smoke if a sadistic army like Grogar’s got their hands on such destructive weapons. Only one thing left to do to prevent weapons like this from ever being used again. With some force, you slammed the weapon right against your knee. Now you wonder if this weapon is even worth anything as it snaps like a candy bar after you brought it right down on your knee.

“So despite how careless they are with their weapons, they can still kill. How can we stop them?”

Tossing the broken weapon away you do have an idea but you know movies are only fictional. You figure that if you can take out their armory where they keep their weapons then they will be vulnerable. Far fetched yes but it would be a good plan and can cripple them.

As you were thinking of ways to counterattack Nero and his army the unicorn guards were busy making sure that the barrage of blasts and gunfire could be stopped. Sadly though with how much Nero’s army was putting on the shield however some of the bullets managed to penetrate through.

One unicorn who was trying to keep the shields holding was unfortunate as one bullet goes through hitting him straight in the chest. His armor barely could stop it as it penetrates him right through the heart instantly killing him.

Nero watched with glowing red eyes as his new weapon was giving him some satisfying results. He watched as his enemies on the other side of the barrier pulled the newly fresh corpse he made out of the way. A new unicorn guard comes in to take his place. Even with this new victim, he wasn’t even remotely satisfied.

“Break the damned shield already! Do you shits want me to kill you?!” the bloodthirsty general roared. “I will prove my worth to Master Grogar by slaughtering every stallion, mare, and foal in that fucking city!” Nero screams, itching to test his new weapons on innocent lives.

After finding some brief thoughts of what you can do to stop the persistent army you almost lost yourself as another one of the Saddle Arabian guards was carried out in a gurney with a sheet over his body. This battle is getting worse and Nero’s forces are putting everything they have to get through. Luckily, they were about to be forced to stop their assault on the barrier as a bright flash appeared from behind them.

You stood tall with your weapon ready to slaughter as you stared at the monstrous bastard you thought you had finished before. Sadly just as your visions had shown there he was. Standing proudly in some new armor and looking to have made some new modifications to his body Nero growls as he stares at an old friend he made back in the city of the sea.

You admitted you were a little unsure of yourself since Nightmare Moon wasn’t in your head to assist you this time, but you would have to make do with the help that you do have. Your army stood at your side awaiting your command as to their new king. What’s more, is that airships were set above you like Bariq had reported with cannons loaded with magical energy.

“So that’s Nero?” Asim asked.

“Yes...” you said with some heat in your tone.

“I thought you killed him,” Jade asks as the supposed dead demon was clearly alive.

Nero let a roar as loud as a grown dragon as he takes a few steps forward towards you. “SILENCE!!! My master was gracious enough to give me a second chance! I’ll prove to him that he made the right call by bringing you back to Tartarus as a trophy!” He then turned to his army. “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SHITS WAITING FOR?! GET YOUR ASSES OVER THERE THIS INSTANT!!!”

Without hesitation you, Bariq and Jade both readied your weapons as several mercenaries race up. All with their weapons drawn you growled as each one had an assault weapon. You draw your sword as a few of Bariq’s guards all have their shields and swords out.

“Your majesty please let us assist you!” a unicorn guard insisted as he conjured up a shield. The other unicorn soldiers followed his lead. Laughing maniacally, Nero’s soldiers started to open fire, too insane to realize that their weapons were starting to weaken.

Pulling your sword out you held it high as your guards all screamed. “ATTACCCCKKKK!!” screaming out you charged right at the mercenaries.

While half had a firearm fired some of the mercenaries charged in with bladed weapons instead. It was pure chaos as your two armies came as close to each other as possible. Even with their shields, some of your unicorn soldiers fell to the sand as the powerful bullets managed to break through their defenses.

“Just like old times, eh big brother?” Bariq told Asim as their backs were touching. They were able to hold their ground as they were respected as some of the most talented unicorns in Saddle Arabia.

“You can say that again,” Asim responded. A guard crazily ran up to him holding a pistol, but Asim cast a spell to burn him to ashes before he could pull the trigger.

You managed to slice off several of the mercenaries limbs and disarmed a few of them of their weapons and of course their lives. Blood seems to be only enjoyment as Nero was much more interested in killing then winning. Watching the monster mow down each guard who dared face him he finally was able to stop his killing spree and face a real challenger.

Even with all this commotion, you and Nero didn’t take their eyes off each other. You watch as Nero turns his arm into a gun and pointed it at you.

“I don’t sense the dark magic of that whore Nightmare Moon this time. Seems you’re vulnerable this time you fucking monkey...” he hissed.

You growled as even though you didn’t have the best relationship with Nightmare, you still hated it when anyone calls your lovers ‘whores’. But he isn’t wrong as Nightmare Moon isn’t here to help you. You ordered her to stay with celestia and the innocent civilians as you need her to make sure the guards don’t get anywhere near them. Despite Celestia and Luna not spilled a lot of blood during their ruling Nightmare Moon isn’t afraid of a bit of blood.

“I’m much stronger than I was during our last fight you son of a bitch,” you scowled. You began giving off an impressive glow of magic to prove your point, before unfolding your wings and taking off into the air. Nero pointed his gun up at you, but wasn’t able to take the shot in time as you dove down to deliver a powerful punch against his arm. You managed to knock Nero’s aim however he still managed to shoot his shot grazing your shoulder.

The beast reached out and grabbed your damaged arm, making you shout in pain. “Hurts doesn’t it, brat?”

You growled as you give a fast headbutt to his face. Blood pools out as some lands on your armor. Kicking him away you pat your bleeding shoulder as you were glad you weren’t bleeding so bad since it was just a small cut.

Despite his massive size, Nero unfortunately, was able to deliver a fast and powerful kick to your stomach, creating some big cracks in your armor. You weren’t underestimating the bastard and you expected he would be strong but… you never expected him to be that strong. Your armor was like ceramic and crack so easily. Like breaking an egg your armor literally begins to crack and chipped so easily. You tried to keep some of your armor intact, but Nero blindsides you with a sudden swipe, leaving some cuts across your face because of his claws. You landed right on your back, blood spills out of your mouth as you slammed to the ground literally crack the flooring around you.

Before you could get up, Nero stomped on your chest completely breaking the armor into pieces and holding you down as he points his new weapon at your exposed head.

Bariq, Asim and Jade who were trying to stay alive and take down as many mercenaries, all watched helplessly as Nero was about to deliver the finishing blow to Equestria’s king. You tried to break free of Nero's grip on you but it was useless. You stared at the barrel of Nero's weapon. Now you know what other soldiers, hunters, and policemen go through when they stare down at these monstrous weapons. It’s truly frightening.

Just as it seemed like your life was about to end, another ring of bullets firing echoed causing Nero to hold his fire. Turning around, he gaps his mouth as several guards who were behind him all begin to die. Blood and body parts sprayed out as each guard dies from some unknown assailant. The loud stomping of boots echoed as a lone figure stands just a few feet away from Nero and his guards.

You can’t tell who it was but you can see whoever it was is definitely more equipped than you are. Dressed in modern armor you’ve seen back home in movies he or she was dressed in black attire with several tactical straps around his chest where his bulletproof vest is on. His jacket was long and black as his hood covered his face. His weapon was more sophisticated than the other weapons Nero had as a small smoke line emitted out from the barrel.

The figure slowly walks forwards as more of Nero’s underling's race over. The figure takes a few more steps before pulling his hood out. You were amazed at who stood in front of you.

“So... I didn’t miss out on too much of the fun, now did I?” the voice echoed as he takes a puff from his cigarette.

‘Wolf’ you watched in amazement as wolf places his weapon over his shoulder.

Nero by now was ready to burst in rage as this annoying dog just killed some of his men with a better weapon than his.

“You fucking mutt... WHOEVER YOU ARE, I’LL MAKE A PELT OUT OF YOU!!!”

Wolf pretends to cower in fear but only lets out a laugh. “Oh, I’m so scared. I might shit my pants” he laughs. He stops and sighs. “Alright, so you must be the big bad nero. Honestly, I figured you to be a badass... Turns out you’re just a whiny pussy,” he openly mocks Nero.

By now you can feel the heat radiating from the furious general who was now focusing his weapon on Wolf. Just before Nero could pull the trigger on his weapon a loud bang echoes follow by nero falling backwards. You don’t know what happened but after what you see next you can get a good idea of what happened.

Nero growls as not even a second he was blasted back. He tried to move his arm however something was off. His new gun arm was firing. Looking down at it he gasped as his newly acquired weapon was gone. Smoke radiated from what used to be his new favorite toy. He then turns to Wolf who pointed the smoking barrel of his weapon at Nero.

Wolf laughs again as he lowers his weapon. “Dude this is embarrassing to point out, but your new partner just gives you crap weapons. My shot wouldn't have done that if it was the real thing”

Nero looks at his weaponized hand, as it reverted back to his regular hand. “Impossible... HE SPOKE THAT THIS IS TRUE GENUINE KILLING MATERIAL!” he screamed in anger.

Wolf shakes his head. “Sorry dude... That arms dealer you met was a snake. He gave you cheap rusted weapons and broken armor. All of these guns you so called have” he turns to the guards who looked at their weapons in question. “All of them are like rusted blades. Worthless which makes you the biggest suckers here. You may have gotten through but sooner or later they will all jammed and you will lose like this” wolf cocks his weapon and lets out a few more shots.

A few guards took cover but many of them were instantly killed by Wolf’s high advance weapon. You kept your head down as several of Nero’s army decreased drastically as wolf finishes his barrage of bullets before he reloads a new clip into his weapon.

“But guess that doesn’t matter now... Since well... I’m here to kill you” Wolf cocks the slide of his weapon with a toothy grin.

“You... you kill me? Ha! You just hit comedy gold if you think you can kill me.” He lets out a loud roar as more mercenaries race out and surrounded the mangy mutt. “I give you credit that you have better weapons... BUT I HAVE AN ARMY!”

Wolf rolls his eyes and sigh. “Fine, it’s your funeral” He reaches up and to his right ear. “Go for it,” he speaks.

From a distance, you can tell wolf must have an earpiece of some kind but to question you wonder was who was he calling. You know wolf has a higher advantage in weaponry and armor but Nero still has an army that would gi e their lives to serve. One against a hundred isn’t a fair game.

You waited for a few seconds as a loud explosion echoed across the sky. Looking up you immediately took cover as a large fireball barrel right at Nero and his army. Wolf waits for just a few inches from where the fireball is hurdling down at the unexpected mercenaries.

Nero manages to look up to what the mangy dog is looking at and quickly dodges the fireball. Some of his soldiers weren’t so lucky as many were thrown out, some were quickly engulfed in the flames from the fireball.

You managed through the confusion to disarmed and slash at two stumbling mercenaries. As you slashed another you turn your attention to the fireball crater in front of you. From where you stood you can almost make out someone from within the smoke. The smoke quickly settles. What you see makes your jaw fall to the floor.

They're dressed in similar armor as wolf but bares a few unique tattoos on her arms... Was this seriously Amira’s baby sister?

"Esma?" Both brothers who watched everything were beyond shock as their baby sister stands up and pops some of her joints.

She fist pumps one of her arms before cracking her knuckles. You may be a few feet away but you can hear how loud her knuckle cracks were. Furthermore, she just happened to be riding on... a motorcycle. How….. you are more puzzled and why.

“QUITE AN ENTRANCE HUH?!” Wolf comments as Esma.

The muscular princess laughs a bit. “Sorry, it seems that snake bastard didn’t just steal weapons. Couldn’t resist riding this.” Nero was standing up and growling in anger as Esma ran down some of his henchmen.

“You... DISGUSTING WHORE!”

Esma not fonded to being called a whore even by her own family much less a warlord couldn’t help but reve the motorcycle’s engine “you messed with the wrong family, bastards”

You watched from a distance as Esma does one large circle before she grabs one of the handles and another at the end of the bike. Using some force she tosses it right a group of mercenaries who were recklessly running towards her with their crazy faces remaining the same.

The motorcycle flies a few seconds before hitting a few of the mercenaries, though what happens next surprises you again. The engine on the bike explodes. How it still remains a mystery but right now it’s not the time to think about that. You, Aism and bariq both resumed your fighting as the few remaining guards took up arms and aimed at the newest intruder.

Guards snuck behind the princess and pointed their guns at her, but luckily some unicorn soldiers appeared in a flash, remembering their duty to protect the royal family. In the nick of time, they managed to project a shield to protect Esma and while she remained protected, Wolf took aim with his own weapon and fired at the psychopaths.

Now that the fools that snuck behind her were dead, Emsa focused on what was in front of her. She grabbed one mercenary by the throat and slammed him to the sand, and her assault only got messier from then. Reaching out she grabs both charging guards and without much effort, she snaps their necks.

One guard was thrown towards Nero, who simply swatted his subordinate aside without a care.

Dealing with another knife-wielding mercenary you managed to break his grip on his knife before grabbing it midfall and stabbing it right at his throw. You took time to watch Esma fight and you were amazed since it was like watching one of those action movies. However, this is all real.

You snapped back as you saw Nero running towards him with his fist pulled back. You pulled your own fist back as you channeled some magic into it you threw the punch colliding against Nero’s.

Things didn’t change from your last fight, as you pulled your fist away while yelling in pain. This bastard's strength was still higher than yours.

“My power hasn’t completely returned but it doesn’t matter. My strength is still better than yours!” Nero gloated as he looked down at you with those sadistic red eyes.

The pain and your anger you are feeling right now were too much to keep yourself in control but it’s not enough. You need more anger and you need it now only one way you were afraid to get that much anger. You took a few more punches, followed by Nero’s heel dropping on top of your head. You stood your ground as blood pools over your head, it threatens to blind your vision but what you have planned you need to endure just a few more seconds.

You took a few more punches as nero winds up one of his punches before delivering a final blow right at your nose. You were sent flying for a few seconds before landing in a pile of sand and debris. Nero huffs, unsatisfied thinking that this was fast, not as challenging as he expected his last fight. That’s where he was wrong.

As the dust slowly settles Nero watches the pile started to move he didn’t realize as the pile slowly explodes before a sudden sharp pain coursed on his right cheek. Looking at his cheek he only can get a glimpse of a large fur claw swipes at his cheek as his body is sent flying several feet from where he stood.

You were back and this time you were ready to rip and tear into a bastard.

Your werewolf form quickly takes over as let out a loud howl before rushing towards a few of the mercenaries. Nero growled as that kicked dislocated his jaw leaving it hanging as he tries to collect his bearings. While nero resets his jaw you were busy ripping off one of the mercenaries heads off before turning your attention to the warlord bastard. You didn’t even need to react as your wolf form races over-delivering another hard kick right against his exposed face. Sending him flying over to a few of his mercenaries you managed to stop as your wolf form pants in exhaustion

Wolf had finished emptying another clip into a few more guards before walking over. He smiles as he was glad you weren’t tearing him apart and that you have somewhat control of your wolf form, unlike last time. “Wow glad you have those powers huh? Werewolfism isn’t an easy power to control the mind. But you look like you got the hang of it.

You were unable to speak but you do show you agree with a slow nod. You both turned your attention as Nero lets out a loud roar from his spot, wolf laughs as to how pathetic this battle is turning out

. “Well since you don’t have your powers like last time, you’re pretty helpless. Guess Grogar has no use for you huh?” wolf comments.

Getting back up, Nero growls and fixes his jaw with loud cracks. “It’s only a matter of time...” A bright red aura of magic starts surrounding the beast, signalling that his power was starting to come back.

“Well, I guess that’s my cue.” Wolf aimed his weapon and shot Nero in the chest. Nero looks down as blood begins to pool out from the hole inside his chest. Looking up he only sees for a second as another bullet hits him dead center in the head. Like a brick wall, he falls backwards hitting the ground with tremendous force.

Wolf places his weapon on his shoulder as you slowly revert back to your original form. The battle was over... or was it?

Once you returned to your human form, you and Wolf looked down and saw a black mist surround Nero’s body as it suddenly started changing. Once the mist cleared, you saw... a random guard.

‘SHIT!’ you frantically searched around as you wonder where the bastard is. Wolf looked around with his weapon aimed for a target. While most of the guards are dead from both the Arabian guards, jade and Esma's onslaught even he wondered where the bastard could be. Searching for nero’s whereabouts you both finally got your answer.

Suddenly, a shadow looms over you and Wolf is suddenly pushed against the sand by a heavy force of gravity. Slowly turning around, you saw towering over you with his frightening height... was the real Nero.

“When did you-” You were swatted aside as the beastly general had his eyes on Wolf at the moment and he began charging up his horns with magic while the mangy dog was held in place by the gravity magic. He didn’t need those worthless guns anymore as his power had fully returned.

“About damn time... now the real fun can commence.” he looks down as you struggle to stand up from his magic. “Starting with your death. Been waiting a long time for this!”

You wanted to move to break free from his magic but... It’s too strong. You had help last time you faced Nero and without Azure or Nightmare Moon, it wasn’t your best of days. You closed your eyes as this could be the end for you.

But nothing happened. As Nero charges his attack just before he fires at you a shadow jumps in front of you blocking each shot Nero fired that was supposed to be for you.

Trying to stand up again you managed to look up at the shadow who saved you. Your heart sank at who stopped nero’s blasts.

‘Wolf’ you stared in shock as wolf lay on the ground an inch from where you were. Several smoke lines simmered on his back as wolf just layed there. Unresponsive his hood covered his face not knowing if he was dead or alive.

“Bah!” Nero scoffed at mangy mutt who caused so much annoyance decided to break free from his magic and save the pathetic excuse for a king. “Friendship truly disgusts me! Even this mutt’s death doesn’t satisfy me!”

‘Oh god no...’ You shake your head as your worst nightmares were coming back. Seeing those who you care and loved dying for you. A nightmare you never want to endure ever again. Your hatred rose to the highest peak as blood begins to pool around wolf as Nero’s mockery echoed in your ears.

“YOU SON OF A BITCH!” you and Nero both turned as Esma punches one of the guards before racing over to avenge her friend. Unfortunately, Nero surrounds her upcoming fist with his magic and twists it, breaking it easily. She screamed for a moment before Nero grabbed her face slamming her to the ground.

The once helpless demon was now radiating a devastating level of magic that was perfect for one of Grogar’s best generals. “Maybe the shit who sold me these weapons was a charlatan, but my power has completely returned to me now! I’LL TEAR EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU SHITS APART AND THEN BLOW UP THAT EYESORE OF A KINGDOM BEHIND US!!!”

That was the last straw. You finally snapped.

Screaming so loud a black ring forms around your body as your werewolf takes form. But something else was happening to your werewolf form. Standing up your own claws turned bloodshot red your fur turns red hot as your eyes blackened with blood-red iris. Esma growls as Nero was ready to deliver another punch turns her gaze away as a large hulking figure stands over Nero.

Nero was just about to deliver another punch only for someone to stop him mid punch. He wonders who would stop him before another sharp pain course through his body. He ignores it as he looks at his arm. It slowly wobbles as his fingers slowly untangle out leaving it limp. ‘Wha-’ he looks to his side as his arm slowly inches away from him. Looking at his arm he looks to see why his arm isn't functioning right now.

Your wolf form growls giving out several deep pants as you held something that belongs to nero. Blood spews out from the new open wound as Nero looks down at his ripped limb.

His pain tolerance was on a completely different level than yours, as he just looked at his severed arm.

“Stupid boy! Have you forgotten that the power of chimerism allows me to fuse my body part with another creature?! Tartarus has plenty of corpses just lying and waiting for me!” A portal opened up next to Nero and he put his arm stump next to it. When he pulled away, his arm had been replaced with one that was just as good as the one you just ripped off.

‘THEN I’LL KEEP RIPPING AND TEARING TILL YOU RUN OUT!’ You snarled as you tossed the limb away. At that moment, something possessed you into raising your hand up straight to the sky. Your body wasn’t in your control as something keeps your arm up as if you are waiting for something.

*at the same moment back at the castle*

Back at the palace as everything seemed quiet besides a few guards and the royal Arabin family who watched the battle afar didn’t realize as something creak from behind. Their attention quickly changes as they turn to their most sacred tree still residing behind the throne. The axe that still embedded against the tree, the very weapon that has claimed many lives to those who tried to wield it begins to wobble. The wobbling grew as though the axe was trying to pry itself off the bark before shooting out. The sharpness of the blade slices part of the throne out before flying straight towards an open window.

Fakhar who stood just inches where the blade flew out watches in horror as the blade…. Returns to its master.

*back to you*

As you held your arm up high Nero raises an eyebrow in confusion as to what you were doing.

“Why are you raising your hand like that? IT ANNOYS ME TO THE FUCKING CORE!!!” He begins channeling magic to his horns. “I’LL TURN YOU... AND THIS ENTIRE CITY INTO DUST!!!”

A twinkling light shines as a loud swishing sound echoes from the sky. Nero seeing his target leaving out an opening shoots one of his blasts straight at you only for it to be slashed and dissipate as to what you were summoning finally arrives.

Nero, Jade, both amira's brother, and Esma watched in both confusion and shock as you held something you never thought was possible.

The axe... The golden axe from the sacred tree... It was in your hand. It came to you.

-Nero “no... no... that... can’t be”

Your wolf form inspects the weapon as if you had a second form that was making sure the weapon was still in pristine condition. ‘Why did it come for me?’ you wonder as you twirl the blade before slamming it right on some corpses in front of you. The blade was so sharp it sliced through the pile like a knife through butter.

‘What is this strange sensation? It’s like... I’m holding a living creature!’

Nero’s eyes glowed red as your wolf form tests the blades sharpness “That…. Was... supposed to be……. Mi-” he was quickly cut off as you race forward swiping the axe blade right at his exposed head.

Nero within a second lifts his arms up protecting his head as the axes blade slices both arms clean off. He quickly rolls to the side, both stump arms bled profusely as he hastily tried to form new portals to replace his severed arms. But something was wrong…. His magic should have healed his arms instantly once the portals were cast. This time... They were barely regenerating.

‘DAMMIT, IT STILL HAS IT! AFTER ALL THIS TIME THE MAGIC STILL RESIDES INSIDE THAT ACCURSED WEAPON... UNLESS!’ Nero looks up as your wolf form growls in pure anger, hatred but most of all…. Revenge.

Those eyes you bare... Nero gasps as those weren’t just any random eyes.

“NO NO NO NO! HOW DARE YOU!” he screams in pure anger and hatred as your wolf form holds the axe

You leaped into the air preparing to land the killing blow when suddenly... something stings your back. Your body without warning suddenly stops and you feel as if something was preventing you from moving. Your whole body felt like lead as you couldn’t move at all. Your legs give out and turned jelly as your arms to support your weight before they too collapsed easily. the axe falls to the side as your wolf form slowly returning you back to normal you didn’t know what was going on. Your body couldn’t move... Almost like you been drugged.

“Sire!” Asim shouted.

What the f#ck just happened?!” Jade yelled in frustration. One minute you were about to deliver the final blow only for you to stop and revert back to your original form

Seeing you on the ground all three guards rush to your aid only for them to be stopped as a magic force prevents them from moving. Like weights on their feet, shoulders, and neck they fell to the ground unable to move from how intense the magic was on their bodies. Nero holds out his stumped arm as his magic still at least work despite his its progress time cut in half.

Seeing you lie in front of him, Nero walks over your fragile form he delivers a heavy kicked on your chin, the sudden numbness helps numb the pain as the kick would have snapped your neck if he had his full strength. You were so lucky that he was weakened from his wounds, but that luck went away when the barbarian gathered enough strength to open up two more portals to replace his severed arms.

Your power was leaving you by the minute, but you managed to weakly reach around you and pull out a dart. You weren’t the only one who learned of the source of your condition. The moment Nero saw the dart in your hand, his veins popped out in rage and he reached his hand out to the side.

Using the power of gravity, he pulled one of the Saddle Arabian soldiers into his glowing hand until he was grabbing him by the throat. You pieced everything together when you saw the soldier, as this one... had a blow dart tube on his belt.

‘Dammit Fakhar!’ you mentally cursed. ‘I should’ve known you’d send someone to make sure I died in this battle!’ It never occurred to you that Amira’s parents would have a single guard who was still loyal to them. Seeing the guard only seems to infuriate Nero as he held the whimpering stallion in his magic. From where the dart came from he knew one of his guards was a rat but to help him kill his enemies was something he cannot stand.

“Are you fucking pitying me?!” Nero snarled, threatening to snap the traitor’s neck. “DO YOU THINK I, ONE OF GROGAR’S THREE BEST GENERALS NEEDS YOUR FUCKING HELP TO TERMINATE THIS MONKEY?!!”

Before the guard’s neck finally gave in, Asim runs up surrounded by a powerful aura of magic and brings his leg down on Nero’s arm, making him let go of the soldier. Even as the traitor scooted away, you got a good look at his face, you’d deal with him later.

“You’ll fucking pay for that...” Nero hissed. His eyes once again glowed red and he activated another trick that you recognized from your first battle against him. A portal above Asim opened up, and when Nero punched downwards, a huge arm came out of the portal punching the young prince to the ground.

Watching Asim gasps as blood spills out of his mouth, Bariq runs up to defend his brother and fired a beam at Nero. Unfortunately, the psychopathic general was far stronger and easily swatted the beam aside before pulls both Bariq and Jade into his hands with gravity. With barely any effort he throws them both to the ground with so much force that most of their armor broke off.

“Dammit...” Jade groaned with blood falling from her muzzle.

“How... can one monster… be this strong” bariq coughs up a bit of bile as the slam causes some of his stomach acid to climb up to his mouth.

“Jade... Bariq... Asim...” you growled as you tried to move only for the last bit of strength to slip away from your body. You could only watch as Nero walked over to you and raised his hoof, preparing to stomp down on your head. This was it... You tried to save your loved ones, those who you cared and this city from this dangerous monster but sadly…. How can you do that if you can’t save yourself? You closed your eyes waiting for the fatal blow.

“DAMN!!!” you screamed.

Suddenly a loud metallic screech echo in the air followed by Nero’s screams. You slowly opened your eyes as the metallic screech echoes for a few seconds before a loud explosion echoed just a few feet away. Trying to lift your head up from the numbness you looked around your surroundings.

From where you laid you can see Bariq standing up from where he was being held and walking over to help jade who was standing up too. Asim who rubbed his chin from the punch was busy tying the traitor’s arms to prevent him from escaping. You tried to process what’s going on before a familiar voice sounds right next to you.

“Big mistake bastard,” a familiar dog’s voice echoed follow by some scraping sounds.

You looked to the side for where that voice came from. Your cheeks turned a big grin as you see your friend standing up.

Wolf who was worse from wears like all the rest stood up as he held his weapon with his good arm. His other arm looked badly mangled as his shoulder and forearm looked like they were dislocated. Blood spilled from the wounded arm but wolf still stood his ground as he set his weapon as a walking cane.

Stumbling a few feet wolf kneels down at you. Going through one of his vest pockets he pulls out a syringe and uncaps it before jabbing you in the back with it. You cringe as the needle is jab right in the middle of your spine but you had far worse injuries compare to that needle.

“Could have been a little more gentle with that needle” you groan as wolf injects the serum inside it.

Wolf chuckles. “Yeah, but for it to work at a faster rate I need to inject this into your bone. Works faster that way” wolf finishes and tosses the needle away.

You waited for a few seconds till you finally felt something. Your arms and legs don’t feel so jelly-like before. You slowly tried to stand up but wolf stops you as you don’t need to go that fast.

He explains the serum needs time to fully enter your system so that it can neutralize the effects of the tranquilizer.

As you tried to stand up while wolf helps you balance Esma rushes over to you and wolf. Her arm is still badly broken but she couldn’t help but hug wolf.

“Damn you, I thought we lost you,” she sighs happily thanking her god's wolf was alive. Broken but not dead.

“I’m sorry for making you worry. I’m just glad the daritarium was able to stop those nasty bolts.” he then points to his bleeding arm. “At least to some extent.”

“Daritarium?” you said in confusion. ‘Strange name. If that’s a metal alloy of some kind, I definitely haven’t heard of it.’

Wolf laughs. “Yeah, weird name huh. This special alloy is what are armor is made of. It’s a mixture of pure titanium alloy metal with raw magic-infused to help protect us against both physical and magical attacks. Though I think i need a heavy plated next time I jump into battle next time” wolf laughs

You couldn’t help but tear up as wolf was alive, hurt but otherwise alive. You all shared a laugh but that quickly died as a loud roar echoes from where the explosion happened. Both brothers and Jade quickly took arms and stood beside as Nero wasn't quite done yet.

Enraged he puffed in pure anger as a new black scorch mark was placed on his chest from wolfs weapon.

“STOP WITH THE IDLE BANNER! HOW DARE YOU SHITS UNDERESTIMATE ME!!!” His veins were popping out as he was now at maximum power.

“God what egotistical asshole,” Wolf rubs his head as a headache was already starting to form from how obnoxious this animal was.

You could agree with Wolf as Nero’s voice is too much annoyance for a monster warlord. Staring at the bastard with equal hate you stopped as a hum begins to shake on your wrist. looking down at your gold band which has survived your transformations begin to glow brightly as a light hum echoes from it. ‘What’s going o-’ you stopped as suddenly the brightness glows brighter before a light magical surge course through from it.

You can feel a sudden surge of magic course through your body the longer the bands glow. As the magic joins with your magic you can hear a faint calling. Someone was calling your name and only you can hear it.

“Love...” the voice echoes as you recognize who’s calling. “I believe in you... I know you’ll come back to me... I know you’ll always protect me...”

“Amira...”

You looked around as you only see your friends standing beside you. You figured this must be part of the golden band's special ability as your magic felt replenished. You do need to make a note on how magic can affect the body's physical properties. While your new magic was replenished you nor your friends could react fast enough as Nero uses another portal. With a fist coming through the portal, Wolf manages to block some of the attacks as he is sent flying a few feet.

You managed to dodge another punch as Nero extends his arm right at your face. Nero growls. “Dammit... How do you still have the strength?”

You laughed “Too bad you’re incapable of understanding friendship or love, Nero.” You smirked as the portal closes. “Just like last time, such feelings are protecting me.”

Nero roared at the top of his lungs again. “I WON’T BE BEATEN AGAIN! I'm ONE OF THE THREE STRONGEST GENERALS SERVING THE DICTATOR OF DARKNESS!!! I’LL DESTROY EVERYTHING IN SIGHT EVEN IF I HAVE TO FORCE AS MUCH POWER AS POSSIBLE!!!”

“Seriously somepony kill this bastard before I die from his annoying voice” Esma dodge another slam as Nero aims his magic right at her

Growing impatient and frustrated from the constant dodging Nero delivers a large sand slam, the slam causes a large dust storm to form. You were blinded for a few seconds by the sand but you managed to stand your ground. This fight you aren’t ready to hang in the white flag yet.

Nero’s veins popped out all over his body refusing to stop he wasn’t going to stop till even if his body gives in again. “43 percent... 56... 78... 85 percent full power... 90...!” Nero’s body almost looked like it was about to explode as he finished charging up. “Destructive power capacity... 100 percent... MAXIMUM!!!”

You held up your fists in a fighting stance and unfurled your wings to fly towards your hated enemy. “I’m game! FALL DOWN ALREADY, NERO!!!”

Feeling the magic from Amira’s love and support, you refused to go back to your wolf form as you flew towards the full-powered general. From this distance, Nero had enough time to conjure up more portals and punched forward so he could summon fists from the portals. You swatted the fists that were aimed towards you, ignoring the slight pain you felt as you did so.

You eventually became close enough to land punches on each other. You struck first, hitting Nero in the cheek with enough force to break some of his fangs. In retaliation, the growling general hit you back with equal force and you heard your nose crack.

Nobody interfered in your fistfight, which showed they had the utmost confidence in you.

“ENOUGH OF THIS FUCKING GAME! I’LL BURY YOU TO THE CENTER OF THE PLANET!!!” He channeled an incredible force of gravity into both of his raised fists and brought them on top of you. You hastily covered yourself with your arms and could feel yourself slowly sinking into the sand.

You could swear your arms were about to snap like twigs from this much force, but you wouldn’t give in. “Amira’s waiting for me back in the castle... I will return for her birthday... after... I... BEAT YOU DOWN!!!” Without warning, your entire body glowed with the same light from the wristband and Nero’s arms were slowly being pushed back.

“No... No... NO!!!” he screamed as his arms not only gave in... but were burned to dust. Before he could open more portals so he could replace them, you reached up so you could pull Nero down to his knees and looked him in the eye.

“Once again...” you reached out to the side, “...you lose.” Your cursed axe appeared in your hand and without a second thought, you deliver the final blow... by cutting his head off.

Even as blood sprayed in your face, you refused to look away as you wanted to make sure this was the real one.

Slashing several more times you made sure this bastard was never going to harm anyone ever again.

Chopping him up till he was left just meat pieces you let out one loud roar as you slammed the axe blade right at his decapitated head.

You got ahold of yourself when Wolf touched your shoulder.

“Uh I think you got him bud” he chuckled.

You panted for a few seconds before you finally calmed down. “Sorry... I... I didn’t...”

Wolf waves his hand out. “Relax after what he been blabbing out somepony had to shut him upright?”

“Finally is this battle finally over?” Jade wonders as her whole body is now feeling the pain from how relaxed her body is right now.

Your body, on the other hand, started wobbling from side to side. Your legs can’t hold out much longer as you finally fell onto your rear end.

“Seems like your everypony is exhausted. I don’t know about you but I could go for a cold one right about now.”

Bariq laughs. “Well, would some Saddle Arabian spice wine and a puff of our special blend hookah help relax you? After everything you did for us we owe you much need gratitude.”

Wolf shakes his head. “Hey if it means to finally put my hunter outfit on once again. Plus….” he turns to you and Esma. “When it comes to my friends…. Nobody messes with my friends”

You laughed as that was probably the nicest thing wolf ever said, and when it comes to this dog he’s done and said some very dumb stuff.

Knowing that this is over you all decide to head back to the palace. This war was again short but it did take a lot out of you.

With the help of Jade, she helps you walked as asim helps her sister out. Wolf was still able to walk and he reassured he can make the walk back to the palace.

Leaving the battle zone you all don’t notice as a black mist begins to expel out of Nero's corpse. The mist slowly takes form but instead of disappearing into the air the mist is quickly engulfed by the axes magic. A bright purple glow hums as the mist is slowly sucked into the axe. It tried to fight and break free only for it to disappear in the axe. The purple glow hums for a few seconds before finally stopping.

-----

The walk back to the palace was grueling and exhausting as you all had to stop and take a breather. As you walked back to the palace you were graciously been given some water and of course some fruit from a few citizens who were able to return back to their stores and home. Word must travel fast as the citizens of saddle arabia were helping you back to the palace.

You were almost to the palace but you needed to make a sudden stop as wolf lets out a painful groan. Holding his broken arm you can see it still bleeding from within the bandages Asim helped, but Nero’s magic really did a number on the exposed parts of his arm.

Wolf reassures he is fine and that they just need to get to the palace so they can look at his arm. You wanted to help wolf with the walking but wolf again prefers to walk on his own. You then turn to Esma who was getting her arm checked by one of the doctors who was searching for any injured civilians.

Seeing Esma getting some treatment you couldn’t wait any longer. Walking over to the doctor you asked to borrow some of his supplies for one patient as well. He offers some bandages and sterilizing alcohol and quickly race over to wolf. You had to force him to sit down on some steps as you begin to work on his arm. You may have gotten in a fight just recently but you still have some energy to help heal someone.

“Seriously can it wait you need healing too,” Wolf complains as you examine his broken arm.

“Be quiet. I’m not the one bleeding so profusely with a broken arm here.” You removed the bleeding bandages and begin to apply some sterilizing alcohol on a clean rag. You clean up the wounds. Once the wounds were clean you quickly bandaged up the wounds. You don’t have any suture tools for the gashes so right now you need to get him to a hospital asap.

“Heh... thanks” Wolf chuckles as you fixed bandaging his arm.

“No prob. Let’s get you to a hospital before those gashes get worse.” you helped wolf up. You both looked at the palace. It was time to visit some folks and have a... ‘chat’ on their plane

Back at the palace both fakhar and his wife, Jashe were just about to pack their belongings to leave the city. They didn’t hear any more explosions which mean they fear the worst is yet to come. Not caring for the citizens of this palace they quickly packed all their valuables and had arranged a carriage to take them away.

“HURRY UP! I WANT TO LEAVE BEFORE THAT BASTARD TURNS THIS PILE OF RUBBLE INTO NOTHING BUT DUST!” Fakhar screams out as his butlers worked hard to pack all their valuables.

“Going somewhere?” you sarcastically and bitterly asked.

The ex-king and queen stopped dead in their tracks, sweat begins to pool from their heads as they turn to the entrance. You were still wearing part of your armor, but your chest still was exposed as much of your chest was coated in blood and sand from the battle.

You growled in anger as both parents were trying so hard to think of something to say as the look you are giving them said you know about their part in the attempted assassination.

“Ex-royalty Fakhar and Jashe, you’re under arrest for treason and attempted assassination to the crown,” the guards say as they moved to grab their former rulers.

“ASSASSINATION?! HOW DARE YOU ACCUSED ME OF SUCH ACTS!” Fakhar pushes his own guards away as they tried to detain the ex-king. “WHAT PROOF DO YOU HAVE THAT I HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!?”

"WHERES the proof,” Wolf said as he and Esma joined you.

“WHAT YOU TWO! A DISGUSTING MUTT AND A DISGRACE WHORE! WHO WILL BELIEVE YOU BOTH!” Fakhar laughs as both the dog and the daughter were ready to paint the marble flooring with another bastard's blood.

“Stop talking for once, Father,” Esma snarled. “We didn’t kill your assassin, but he definitely didn’t keep his mouth shut. He told us everything.”

You took a step forward towards the greedy couple. “I assure you Fakhar, for Amira’s sake, I won’t have you and Jashe executed since you aren’t the only one who read the rule book about the ruling. Unfortunately, you’ll be living the rest of their lives behind bars, not just for trying to kill me, but for all the suffering you have caused this kingdom.”

Fakhar was jaw-dropping as to his sentence. Being sentenced from his favorite suite home to a tiny cold cell bed he couldn’t believe what was happening. “WHAT HOW DARE YOU! I WILL NOT BE SENT TO THE DUNGEONS FOR PROTECTING MY CITY!”

Amira who had heard everything was now even more infuriated on her father’s action. “BY MURDERING MY HUSBAND?! THE SAME CREATURE WHO RISKED HIS LIFE TO SAVING OUR BEAUTIFUL KINGDOM?!”

You didn’t move as Amira rushes over and locks lips with yours. Tears stream her eyes as she was glad you were alive. Her brothers all rush over and hugged their sister, Esma waited as both brothers broke the hug off before he joins in. Naturally, your queen was surprised by the armor that her baby sister was wearing, but she didn’t care as she was glad her husband and family are fine.

You hugged amira tight as her parents continued to scream their accusations. You didn’t care about what they say. It was over and they will pay for their crimes.

Amira doesn’t look as her own parents begged her to please spare them but she didn’t look at them. The deed was done and there was no turning back from the consequences. The screaming echoed before suddenly it stopped.

“Hopefully sometime in the dungeon they will learn what morality is for a change,” Amira sighs as her brothers help comfort her.

You give her another hug but suddenly a thought comes to mind. You know the parents aren’t the only guilty ones that sent that assassin.

“WAIT, WHERE’S ARAGON!?” you shouted as everypony searches for the arrogant prince. Seeing he’s no where to see you growled as that bastard was nowhere to be found.

“Dammit, he escaped” you growled as you slowly calm down.

Bariq walks up and touches your shoulder. “Don’t worry, we’ll find him.” He walks towards the entrance before turning around. “But right now, we have some visitors.”

“Visitors?” you said in confusion. You walked beside Bariq.

Heading outside towards the city you were immediately blindsided as the sun shines in your eyes. Once you managed to regain your eyesight you were bombarded by millions of ponies all cheering for their rulers.

Civilians and guards all cheered your name as you awkwardly waved to them all. The word of your victory against Nero got out faster than originally planned.

Many ponies all congratulate the cities victory as some bowed in respect for who just saved them. You smiled as you bowed in respect for the ponies of Saddle Arabia. You wanted to let them know you weren’t the kind of king who would demand respect from his subjects as Fakhar did.

You stayed to protect the citizens and even if your not of the same species you would stay to protect them all. The citizens of Saddle Arabia all cheered as it’s been such a long time since they had such respectful rulers. Seeing how much they are cheering from you can tell they have been waiting for a rightful ruler. These ponies suffered enough and they deserve some good news.

You do make an announcement on the monster who brought war to their peace city and informed everyone he won’t ever hurt another living soul again. With another cheer, you laugh as everyone begins to dance and throw confetti up into the air. You watch the citizens celebrate before you spot a few ponies you needed to check on after this whole war.

Racing up within the crowd you extend your arms before being tackled to the ground by your wives, primarily Pinkie Pie. Tia and Luna smiled and with some difficulty, they managed to pull the clingy pink alicorn off of you. You do make sure to give her a reassuring kiss before turning to Tia and Luna

“Did you really do it hummy-wummy? Did you beat Nero?”

“DID YOU KICK HIS SORRY BUTT TO THE NEXT CENTURY!” Rainbow fist pumps wondering more on Nero’s defeat. She hoped to stay and watch the fight but her loyalty won out and she stuck with getting the civilians to safety.

You nod and turn to everypony. “He’s done... Nero is gone once again and he won’t ever come back,” you reassure with a large smile. ‘I hope he doesn’t’ in your mind you pray it’s the last you’ve seen of him.

“What happened to him though, and how did he come back in the first place?” Twilight asks more curious on how he survived after his first defeat.

You tell that you haven’t any clue to how he survived but you don’t care. You ended up saying he’s ‘falling apart’ and that he won’t harm another soul. Already lives were lost from that bastard and you just want to rest up. You will want to know where he acquired such dangerous weapons but for that, you figure Wolf and Esma who didn’t come out with you would take care of that.

As you all enjoyed the victory deep within the crowd an arrogant ex-king who manages to escape custody from the palace tries to sneak out from within the crowd. Walking past a few spectators he manages to walk through one of the empty alleyways and make his way through. He stops as a few mares dressed in royal saddle arabian garments stood in front of the exit.

“Hello aragon…. Seems you been very naughty since you been dethroned” the mare in the middle crosses her arms as the other two held pieces of pipe and Timberwood in their hands.

Argon tried to walk away only for a few more mares blocking the path behind him. With is paths blocked aragon only gulps as the mares all close in. after a lifetime of cheating and of course the abuse they endure during his rule it was time for some payback.

“Now ladies... Can we talk about this?” he was immediately shut up as the mares yanked him into the middle. The sound of a girly stallion getting his ass beat was muffled by the sound of the ponies still cheering and playing music for their victory.

You wondered what that sound was, but you quickly forgot about it as you saw the royal family elder walking over to you. He was carrying a unique crown on top of a pillow, using extreme caution when walking so the crown wouldn’t fall off.

“You did well defeating that barbarian young master. It just shows that Saddle Arabia finally has the role model it deserves. This crown has been passed on for generations, from the first king who founded our city this crown gives a symbol of hope and justice.” he presents the crown for you. “Your courage and bravery have shown that you are destined to rule our beloved city. Please accept the crown.”

Looking at the crown you were a bit skeptical about wearing it as this one was a lot bigger than the one your lovers have for you back home. But that’s not important. You know you have a family back in equestria and you can’t accept the crown. Plus it’s bad enough you’re a king at home and you don’t need any more royal treatment. Looking at Bariq and the other members of Amira’s family an idea comes to mind.

“As honored as I am to be your king, I can’t stay here in Saddle Arabia.” You grabbed the crown and stared at it while the crowd was still confused. What you did next shocked your subjects.

Asking Bariq to take a knee he does as you place the crown on his exposed head. “I may be the king but I have the right to let those I deem worthy of the ruling. Bariq, during this battle, I’ve seen and heard many good things about what you have done for the city. As king, I appoint you as the temporary king of Saddle Arabia.”

Bariq was in pure shock as to what just happened. Never had he thought he would be trusted with so much responsibility? His father never acknowledged his strength and always patronized him like a child. He always wanted to make the family proud just like his brother has but never has he ever treated him like a real guard nor his own son. A figure in his shadow long forgotten now, he was finally getting recognized.

The proud prince tried to hold back his tears, but you give him a reassuring smile. You knew you could trust Bariq to handle things while you’re not around. You then turned to look at all the damage around you.

“Even though we won, Saddle Arabia definitely needs to be repaired. Guards, go and tend to the wounded,” you ordered. “Tomorrow, we’ll start the construction on the areas that were hit the heaviest.”

The guards saluted you and you walked back inside. However, the moment you heard the door shut, a pair of arms wrapped around your arm. It was Amira’s eldest sister, Shamsi.

“Where do you think you are going, sweetie?” she asked lustfully.

“Uh... I’m-” you were cut off as Amira’s second oldest sister, Thorwa joins in by grabbing your second arm.

“You saved our home and taught our despicable parents a lesson.” Thorwa gives a sultry look as you tried hard not to blush. You can see where this is going. But things got worse when you heard the voice of the birthday mare herself.

“I think a reward is in order for my sweet husband here, wouldn’t you agree sisters?”

You wanted to speak up but sadly both sisters showed how they want to reward you. Even amira wants to show her gratitude as you were pulled down the hall to get to Amira’s bedroom.

As you were pulled back inside the palace, your lovers though weren’t happy that you were getting a reward. At least to them, they want to give their reward to their own lover.

“I hope he still has some energy left for us after they are done” Rarity puffs up her cheeks as everypony agrees.

Tia sighed happily as she turns to the citizens. Already the war lasted a few hours and the ponies are celebrating. Seeing them having fun she smiled as they decide to have fun. After all, after what’s happened since their arrival it would be a nice change of pace while they visit Saddle Arabia.

You protested against it at first, but because it was Amira’s birthday, you decided to stop fighting and just enjoy it. You wouldn’t be leaving until you gave the beautiful sisters what they wanted.

Shamsi was the only sister whose bust was the same as Amira’s. Your hands were admiring and squeezing her breasts, while Thorwa was filling her face with your cock.

Amira puffed out her cheeks. “Why should you two get all the attention first? It’s MY birthday!” she reminded.

“Is that any way to thank your sister who got your king nice and wet for you?” Thorwa asked, pulling her mouth off of you.

Amira still was a bit peeved that her sisters were giving her husband a great sloppy kiss on his hard member. You had to admit though, your wife looked pretty adorable pouting like a spoiled child. In this case, however, her pouting did get her what she wanted, when Thorwa and Shamsi stopped kissing your cock so she could climb on top.

“Happy birthday, little sister,” Shamsi giggled, watching Amira sink on your huge member. Now that she had stopped complaining, the eldest princess kissed you again, only this time it was on your lips. Thorwa, on the other hand, watched with amazement at how you were creating a noticeable bulge in her sister’s belly and wanted in on the action.

“Come on Amira, don’t be stingy. Didn’t Asim tell you it’s important to share?” she pleaded.

“Ah sorry... But he feels... Sooooooooo goooooddddd!” Amira moans as your member goes deeper into her marehood.

With a growl, Thorwa lit up her horn and forced her sister to get off of you. “Sorry sister but you had your fun... Now” thorwa climbs up and lines her marehood with your member. “It’s time for the big sister to have some fun.” She slowly sinks into your member and you recognized the barrier you felt as you entered her. She was a virgin.

Feeling your member breakthrough her hymen Thorwa lets out a few tears as her blood flows down your member. You let her calm herself before she starts her rhythm.

She eventually stopped crying and began moaning with pleasure as she laid on your chest and hugged you.

Both Shamsi and amira were both concerned for her well being since neither of them had been with a stallion for a while. Being virgins, both mares didn’t know how big their little sister amira’s husband is but they’re starting to get an idea.

After a few minutes, Amira’s jealousy returned and replaced her concern. Even though she wasn’t able to use magic, being an earth pony made her strong enough to lift Thorwa off of your cock.

“No excuses, sister! It’s my turn now!”

“Uh, girls could we please not argue. I’m still sore from my fight with Nero,” you spoke out as you don’t want them to fight over you nor do you want them to break you as you were still sore from the fight with Nero.

All three mares finally stopped as they did agree you were still sore and with a simple nod, they came to an agreement and listened to what you had in mind. You instructed them to lay on the edge of the bed beside one another so you could pleasure them in turns. The first was Shamsi.

You took caution with the eldest sister, as you had a suspicion that she was a virgin too. You proved to be correct when you stopped at her hymen.

You slowly insert your member breaking through first and letting her relax as you felt the warm feeling of her virgin blood. Shasmi lets out a few tears but she wipes them away before she finally starts her rhythm. Letting shasmi take your member as you thrust her from behind, you reached over to Amira who was laying beside her and put a finger in her soaked marehood. Her other sister joins in as you insert two fingers into her marehood.

Fingering both mares marehood and thrusting into the third you want to make sure both mares know what kind of lovemaking Amira gets every day. You brought your loving wife close to a deep kiss not holding back as your tongue slowly dances with one another. Making out with amira you only kissed for a few seconds before swapping for Thorwa’s lips.

Her sister was a bit skeptical she’s never been kissed before, but she allowed you to continue since it felt nice. Pulling out of Shamsi, you decided to give the second daughter another turn, making her squeal as you invaded her tight walls again.

‘Mmmmmm she tastes almost... Fruity’ you moan as you deepen the kiss. You can feel Thorwa’s marehood tighten up a bit, but you didn’t slow down and even began fondling her breasts, not caring that they weren’t quite as big as her sisters’.

“I’ll repeat what I said before, Amira, I’m jealous that you get to have this stud as your husband,” Shamsi grumbled, watching how affectionate you were being to Thorwa.

“Then come pay a visit to Ponyville, sister. Even though he was being stubborn a few minutes ago, you can clearly see our beast of a king is having a good time pleasuring u-AAAHH!” Your queen stopped as you went back to her marehood, suddenly determined to give her rutting worthy of a birthday. With her knees on the covers as you brought her up to your chest, you pounded her much harder than you had either of her sisters.

“I’ll definitely take that offer...” Shamsi giggled and came up to give you a kiss as you drilled her little sister into oblivion.

*Esma's room*

After what could possibly have ended better turned out to be one tarturas of a day. Despite not taking out the target they did destroy the last of those weapons as well as stopped those other shipments from ever being sold.

Esma sighs happily from the sum of what mission success. Now she decides to call it a day as she fixes her mane and helps rebandage her arm. While the doctor has helped heal most of her arm it still was sore and has to be cast tomorrow. At least tonight she can wear the brace and relax till then.

Or at least try to relax.

“So you coming to bed or you are going to be dying your hair next” familiar echoes from behind.

Esma giggles as she turns to her friend and comrade through tooth and nail in all. “Yeah yeah. Keep your tail on i’m just fixing my hair. Still, a mare after all” Esma finishes brushing her mane before standing up and tossing her bathrobe she had on to the side. Leaving her bare wolf couldn’t help but growl playfully on how sexy she looked with those muscles and scars

Wolf who had his armed sutured and bandaged was glad they were able to slip away from being scene was glad his friend was letting him stay in her room. He knows that it would be trouble if anypony saw him with his injuries and he doesn’t need the public to know what he does in his spare time.

Plus it’s been a while since he and Esma fooled around together so another win.

As wolf discard his bathrobe Esma let him borrow he takes a spot in the middle of her bed. Esma smirks as wolf playfully teases her with his member already being semi-hard.

“Wow pup you sure you want this after our little battle. I was more surprised how the king is still able to handle my sister after the battle with nero.” Esma chuckles as wolf gives a small shrug.

“Well if I recall last time you and I had some fun while I had both my legs broken before remember” wolf smirks as he reminds her of that day. It started off simple then lead to wolf getting hurt a lot worse than usual which later ends with him banging her with two broken legs.

Seeing as the dog isn’t going to take no for an answer and the night is still young tonight why not. Climbing up despite her height and size wolf was a dwarf compared to her. Still, however, size doesn’t matter as this dog has been able to handle her.

Esma lines her marehood onto wolf’s hard member as she lets gravity sink into it. A low moan escapes as the night will be nothing but sweet music of pleasure tonight.

*night time anonymous pov*

After everything that’s happened here in this city, he would have expected the guard to stand up against his weapons. Though he also couldn’t believe Nero would accept those weapons he sold. Granted they were sloppy work but it was an easy steal from the bastard.

It took some time to escape the city as now the city is on high alert after everything. After discarding all his documents and making sure his gold was secure. As the guards were preoccupied with cleaning up and fixing the city it was a lot easier to sneak out and steal one of their camels. The travel took some time but thankfully if he travels north he can make it to the Arabian shores before sun ri-

He stops suddenly as he felt something stinging against his chest. He coughs a bit as he tries to speak but no words can be formed. His mouth tasted of copper as he tries to form at least one word but sadly only coughing he gets out of. He finally looks down at where the pain is coming from. The moon's light shines brightly from behind as he inspects his shadow on top of the camel. His shadow took a large visible form but something was off about it. In the middle of the chest laid a small hole.

He slowly touches the spot as blood gushes out from the new hole he was sporting. Looking up he slowly turns his head to the city. A shine gleams from one of the towers as he knows where it originated.

“D- d…. Damn….. Mu’” he was immediately shut up as his body was hit with great force right in the center of his head. Blood and bits of brain showers the sand as his whole body flops down into the sand dune. The camel scared out of its wit leaves with gold still attention while the sands of the desert cover up the evidence.

Back at the castle, a long barrel weapon smokes from hitting its target. Behind the weapon, a figure stood as he finishes his cigarette. Another target has been left to rot.

“He thought he could get away from me... He forgets.” he takes another puff before pulling his weapon back. “I never forget my targets either” he extinguishes his smoke before holstering his weapon. His mission is now completed

*next morning your pov*

‘Oh, god, what a night...’ You popped your back from the fun you had last night. Amira’s sister was quite adventurous. You wonder if that’s how amira has her playful taste while having fun in the bedroom. This morning though saddens you and amira as you all had to leave.

You do spend time having a wonderful breakfast with your family and of course checking in on your friend wolf and Esma. However, the only Esma was around as she announced after wolf was patched up he left back to Equestria.

You wonder why the sudden left back to the states but hopefully, once you get back you can get that answer.

After packing your stuff up and making sure to change the bandages from your battle it was time to say goodbye. Amira hugs her sisters and brothers as despite what happened it pains her that she has to leave.

“Rest assured, Amira, we’ll be working our hardest to make sure Saddle Arabia is rebuilt and that our vile parents remain behind bars,” Bariq promised.

“Thanks for everything,” you said. Though several lives were lost you were glad it didn’t end with even more bloodshed than it did. Their sacrifices will be remembered for time to come.

“And thank you for saving our lives and being a true leader to our subjects. Remember, you’ll always be welcomed back to Saddle Arabia,” Asim said.

You thank them again as you said your last goodbyes you do let them know Equestria is welcome to them. With one more goodbye, it was time to head home.

Entering the carriages you all wave goodbye as you returned back to Equestria after everything that’s happened you were glad to be going back home. Still, saddle Arabia has opened your eyes to newer areas this world has and you wonder what other secrets lie beyond these lands.

For the ride, you decide to catch a few hours of sleep as your night took a lot out of you. Your lovers all smiled, knowing exactly why you were so tired and decided to keep quiet so you could take your nap in peace.

However, as you took your ride back to Equestria, you all were startled as something hit the carriage causing it to rock back and forth a bit.

“WHAT WAS THAT?!” Luna asks wondering what hit the carriage. Being close to the window you looked outside. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary so you decide to look at the damage of the carriage.

Poking your head out you can care less if this is another assassination attempt by the family as you are actually hoping they will do another just so you can give them the death penalty.

Looking outside you looked at the side of the carriage where it was hit. What you see shocks you yet again. The same axe that you somehow summoned was again there right on the wall of the carriage. Reaching out you grabbed the axe’s handle and give it a few yanks before pulling it out.

Amira who was even more fearful of the fact the axe is here now was more curious as to why it chooses you. Luna and Tia both intrigued on such a weapon but you will fill it in later.

You only sigh as it’s a piece you thought you left behind but it seems like it’s coming with you. You smiled as it seems you have acquired a new weapon. For some reason, it’s become easier to ignore the uneasy sensation you felt whenever you touch it.

Setting the axe aside you finally decide to sleep it off.

Deep inside your subconscious a lone figure of black and red laughs a bit as the missing piece finally returns.

“Finally…… it’s…. Mine….. Again.”
